Beef.Fattening in the East.

Cheaper foods and cheaper lands may
indeed permit the growing OF cattle In one
locality at rate below the cost OF produc-
ton in another, but that is no reason why
their production should be abandoned or
discouraged elsewhere, since all the cattle
required by the country cannot be grown
in any one locality. AS has been observed
before in these columns, the saving in
freight and commissions and the better
prices generally obtainable for strictly
fresh cattle are an advantage to the pro-
Queer for local or near by markets which
can generally be depended upon to more
than counterbalance the lessened expenses
of remote regions. AS illustrative of the
point we notice the New England Home
stead, in its market reports the other day,
said: Some of the best beeves and NUT
tons used in Boston are fattened in New
England, and they always command better
prices than those from the West. 1t would
seem as if there was still room tor good
deal of improved stock raising in New
England. 1t certainly does not pay to
raise and send scrubby cattle to market.
They never sell at prices that pay for rails
ing them here in New England. Good.
well-fed and fattened stock, however, is
always in demand at remunerative prices"
The bulk CT the cattle are consumed near
where they are produced, and local farm
ers need not fear that they will eyer be
brought into actual competition with the
cheaply produced cattle of the open range;
and the local demand becomes stronger
and more discriminating each year. AS
the towns grow larger and more numerous
there are more and more people who will
not be satisfied with inferior scrub beef,
and the demand for choice meats becomes
everywhere more imperative; and that is
one of the reasons why ''scrubby' stock
does not pay-the better class of people
''out West" and down South" and "up
North" do not want that kind of meat any
more than they do in New England, and
will not pay much for it. There is every
encouragement for raising improved cat
tie. because they are in the line Of satisfy
ing growing and natural public want,
and wherever produced the local demand
or the demands of nearby markets is suffi-
cient to absorb them at prices remunera-
tive to the farmer who grows them

Take Care of the Soil.

A man making much pretenson to
knowledge of the soil and its properties
once said of the wonderfully productive soil
in the West. that we could not exhaust
its productive powers. Don't believe a
word Of it. Unless means are used to
keep up" the soil. use will "put it
down" as sure AS the world stands. Prof
Chamberlain, now of the Iowa A9ricul-
tural College, and long before Secretary
OF the Ohio State Board of Agriculture.
gives a very valuable paper on How to
Keep up the Fertility OF the SOIL" He
says stable manure is the best fertilizer
on earth.
Mixed farming produces the best re-
suits, because the feed given to the stock
is in turn Ted back to the soil. Save all
the manure, both liquid and solid. They
should be mixed to get best results. Don't
run liquids into tank but use absorbents
and keep them together. The best
way to apply manure is to take it
direct from the stable to the field where
it is to be used. Don't let it heat and
fire fang" He likened the prac-
tce of letting manure lie under the caves
to get the drip and run away, to sleeping
tea and coffee, and throwing away the
liquor and eating the dregs. The kinds
OF food best adapted to milk production
are the best tor manure. One hundred
dollars worth of cheese takes from the
farm less than II the fertility taken by
800 worth of grain, while 800 worth of
butter-if the skim milk is fed on the farm
takes nothing from the soil. For potatoes,
use well-rot;ed manure. For corn, pillow
it under green. Thinks blowing under
clover is poor economy. Better feed it to
the COW first. She don't want the ele.
ments the soil wants. The Professor told
of an experiment at the college, last sum-
mer; two pieces of potatoes were planted
side by side. One heavily MANFRED stood
the drouth fairly well and produced $50
bushels per acre. Where no manure was
used only 80 bushels per acre were real
ized.-Germantocm Telegraph.

Crops of the Country.

The August crop report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture recently issued, shows
that the long continued drought in the
central corn region in the valleys of the
Ohio and Missouri, where two-thirds of
the crop is grown. has caused a very heavy
reduction, making the national average
so Z instead of 97.7 the previous month.
The condition of spring wheat, reported
very low last month from ravages of
chinch bugs, is not improved in the Au-
gust returns, the general average being
7S s. or two points less than the August
returns of last year In the oat crop there
is no change. A part of the breadth is
harvested at the last report. Condition
averages $50. which indicates a crop
slightly under average. The barley crop
promises to Weld rather better than was
feared last month. The eastern product
averages higher condition, but it is re-
duced slightly since the last report. The
average is S62. indicating nearly an
average yield The buckwheat area APP
pears to be practically the same as last
year. and averages about % in condition.
There is great reduction since July in
the condition of potatoes, almost entirely
the result of drought. There is no material
decline on the Atlantic or Gulf coast, but
the injury is severe in the West. The
loss during the month, as reported, is
fully twenty per cent. of the prospective
crop. The fruit crop is very poor. There
will be few apples outside OF New Eng
land and New York. There will be
partial crop in Michigan. In the Ohio
River States the harvest will be nearly a
failure. The hay crop is also greatly re-
duced in the West. The general average
is eighty.

Poultry in Orchards.

A young orchard is a very desirable
place to build poultry house In, shading

Buying Breeding Stock,

The fair season has now well opened
up, and the swine breeders are out in force
with their favorites. And. as is commend
able, they will all try to make their hogs
show to the best advantage, and sell as
many as they can for long prices. They
do not expect premiums or glory enough
to pay all expenses, and they must sell to
male both ends meet. But now we do
not have so much to sayto the seller as to
the buyer. The seller understands his
business, and the buyer in too many in
stances does not. Those that do not under
stand lust what they want are the ones we
want to reach: but with too many we will
fail. for they do not read the farm papers
and they know .'too much about farming
already" And these are the kind the
breeders like TO catch when the farmers
pockets are deep and well lined. Every
farmer should know something of the
characteristics of the different bl eeds be-
fore he attends the fairs; but unfortunate
" too many are not well enough informed
to tell one breed from another. A farmer
is excusable for not knowing the breed to
which some hogs belong when he sees
them in the show ring. for the reason that
they are not known in his section or state.
But every farmer should know the breeds
at sight that are common to his state. III
otherwise, when you ask OF the breeder
the desired information, and are told that
a black hog is a Chester. White, do not get
mad at him for making fun of you, but
make sure you do not have to ask such
question again. To be an intelligent
buyer the good and bad points must be
known. as they belong to the several
breeds. And everyone should know that
the premium pig is not the one to buy for
a breeder. Some OF these may do remark
ably well, but they tail so often that there
is degree of uncertainty about the whole.
A man with frst-class judgment may
safely buy show pig, and make good
investment; but when he does buy such
an animal it may be taken as fact that
he has taken in consideration all the
qualities of the pig, and then given him
self the benefit of all doubt before pur-
chasing. He can tell by the general APP
pearance whether it has been fed to ex-
cess, and whether or not it will stand the
gradual reduction necessary to bring it to
breeding condition. Only an expert should
risk buying this kind of stock. The mass
of hog breeders would do better to give
the show pig their admiration and COM
mend their owners for their skill. but buy
their stock from the lot left at home. Let
what you see at the fairs educate you as
to what skilltul men can do with the mod
ern pig, and what the pig is capable of
attaining to.-NGts0nal StOckmdn.
